ahh I'm glad the girl I've found doesn't know how to use a computer .. makes it all much much easier!! and the retaliation of a break-up would not result in nudes all over the web .. and she won't delete and clean up my harddrives as she does my room .. ahh I'm glad the girl I've found doesn't know how to use a computer .. oh and congratulations to both of you ..

edit: or; How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Consumerism.. great film .. er .. I mean great season/day/whatever So there will be a texas cowboy riding a neverending wave of presents which will mark the beginning of WW3? never saw it coming .. but right back at ya .. Happy Christmas all around .. and a Merry New Year ..

aren't they trying to expand the definition of WMD? so that the things they have found will fall under the catagory of such weapons .. and then they can justify it? something like saying "well we think of bricks as a wmd .. and sand too! which is what we was referring to all along" heard something about that anyway..

well it's every pyro's dream! so that doesn't suprise me ..

they should ram it with a car like they did a couple of years back .. it's only about 10 that have made it to Christimas right? (we hear alot about your goat here in Denmark .. don't ask me why!)

ah but I think it's perfectly fair .. the US X-box'ers were were happy to get the game first .. and all us PC'ers get something for whining like children! it's Karma, in the balance-of-the-universe kinda way!

insightful posts all.. and Grandpa you are right, but some faces have been shown it seems! I hope I didn't come off as a general american hater because I'm not .. I just have some problems with your current goverment! and Langly I too want to say that what you write is insightful .. and you have shown yourself to be much older and wiser in spirit than one of 16!! I actually feel ashamed for getting pissed at Bush for hurting Europe financially! when in the long run it probably won't affect us much anyway.. :'( we will still be stinking rich.. guess I have learned a good lesson of humility today! and Hades, also true .. sad .. but true!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - mkreku maybe you should listen to your own words ..

a word of advice Mkreku (from personal experiance) offending someone personally is not a good way to gain support in arguments .. while you may disagree and think someone is stupid for not seeing the thruth! others will think you are a jerk, and will probably side with the opposition in sympathy .. so keep a civil tone in any argument, and present facts in the very good way you do .. and you will win the argument!

well I've spoken to enough Americans to know that you aren't all war-loving power-hungry maniacs! I know how many Americans are concerned about the events, but many still seem unaware of the general sucpicion towards USA that is developing.. and I would say I know Europe .. I know alot of people spread out over this continent, and we usually talk about events, and they tell me how the general feeling is in their country .. and I know how the general feeling is in mine, from friends, websites, media, newpapers, politicians and polls .. just like you have a general idea of how people in America feels! or more locally to compare to Denmark .. how your state feels about something in general! of course some people from Europe clearly supports the war .. otherwise Denmark and some other nations wouldn't have joined the Coalition! but it was around 20-30% here when we entered the war .. and that number has fallen greatly ever since! and it worries me that Europe is developing this Anti-American feeling, and they really really are .. because we need you to help us in maintaining peace in ceartin areas, and I feel that you need us as your ally (I belive the world trust us more now than you, so therefore a strong bond would beneift us both very well) we have more experience in dealing with other nations, and you have the will and 'power' to deal with them and not just speaking in military meassures here.. also political power and financial .. and on a sidenote .. yes Europe consist of alot of different nations with different cultures and opinions .. but most people have a general feeling of being Europeans as well as their own nationality! of course some hate the notion of a European Union .. as well as some people from your states would rather have their state being independent!

But my problem, and what I think most of Europes, is that America seems to take things in their own hands .. yes you are the biggest power! but to quote your own Stan Lee "with great power comes great responsibility" .. It seems to me that America wants to play the Police of the world, but have no idea of the consequences you bring down on yourself by doing so .. 9/11 was a terrible event, but it will be nothing compared to what will happen if America is not more careful in their dealings with the rest of the world .. If you alienate yourself too much (by using too much power), you will loose all support here and in the rest of the world .. and then you will face to many enemies to handle! the reason why I and so many others thinks this was wrong .. is because the Coalition went against the UN .. EnderWiggin brings up a very good point however, "If "justice" is determined by a unanimous vote on a security council, then any one of the nations that holds a seat on said security council can redefine justice however they desire by holding the right to veto." which I must admit I don't have an answer for .. But it would still be in Americas best interest to follow the guidelines of her allies and not mock them when things are not going the 'right way' .. you are not that powerful .. yet .. and if you continue to blindly attack any you see fit, I fear the day you are! edit: and again .. sorry for the Hitler remark .. uncalled for .. now deleted! and just to be clear .. of course I appriciate that America does something to help the world! and the fact that they have stepped in to help us in our time of need .. and others! but when you are the nr 1 power, you get alot of attention and of course alot of focus on the bad things .. my wish is only that America is more careful in the future! because all the sympathy you accumelated following the days and months of 9/11 are all but spend! and a strong anti-american feeling is growing all over the world .. and all your good intentions won't repair that unless you tread lightly!

well it was a bit too hard .. granted! sorry .. but my point was, Hitler started out as a man of the people too, and seemed like the perfect leader who could unite the German people in their greatest need.. so my argument was - looks can be deceiving .. that was the comparison! not the fact that Bush = Hitler .. which I don't think! I do believe that he has a some darker agenda .. but of course not mass genocide .. - Rosbjerg

Let us recall that Bush officials claimed that Iraq definitely possessed chemical and biological weapons and was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. On December 5 however, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters:

the latter part was more a part of my personal conspiracy theory than actual facts .. the war has however affected the Euro, which will cause problems for everyone here.. and Bush isn't really helping the matter! which makes me supicious about his agenda .. a strong Europe would benefit US in the long run, but will limit it's 'voice' over lesser powerful nations .. maybe he doesn't want that .. and would rather have a strong militaristic US than a strong financial one .. but about the cooperation part, that would've been true 60 years ago, but it's a new age and the European nations cannot afford not to put their overall differences aside (and they have) .. So I don't think the entire European Union will fall apart anytime soon! some members might resign, but overall I think any citizen and politician here clearly sees the benefits of working together .. and have since the early 50'es and 60'es .. as I stated oil was probably not the main reason, but it does seem work in Americas favor to control it (or at least have more influence over it, with a US friendly goverment, besides Israel, in the area) .. and especially if the agenda is weakening Europe! again .. just personal conspiracy theories - Rosbjerg

not to mention that one of the strongest arguments is that Saddam was the biggest threat and opresser of his people .. If that was really such a big concern, how come US have financed several dictators to power in South America?? and how come they are not doing anything to get rid of several dictators in Africa who are far worse on their people than Saddam ever was? and threat? what threat? no weapons, and he was scared s***less to do anything, he knew that he would get invaded in a heartbeat by the entire force of the UN if he did anything close to invading another country or pose a real threat! no he was happy by just being in power .. so there has to be another reason! but yes, it is good that he is now out of power .. but the situation has excalated and real terrorist are rallying more people to their cause than ever before .. this will hurt the western world far more than help it! so in the end another way would have been preferable! And talking about threats, the Russian Mafia is believed to have several nuclear warheads in their possesions, and they are not really the biggest supporters of USA, and will probably sell any of them to the highest bidder, which could easily be a rich terrorist faction! (who are now recieving more money as stated above.. more support) and South Korea isn't really your best friends either, and they have a proven active nuclear program! why not take an active (armed) role in disarming them? because they have real weapons of mass destruction, but USA don't wanna risk a war with a nation who can nuke them with real weapons .. so I believe that US wanted a little more than the 'welfare' of the Iraqy people .. and to 'stabilize' the region .. perhaps it wasn't the oil, but that seems very likely! perhaps it was to weaken Europe? .. China was about to accept the Euro as their international currency, but since this war have started, and Bush is trying to get the Dollar back up, they are reconsidering .. seems US don't like a second superpower that can rival them!

and perhaps WMD wasn't the sole purpose .. but it was used as a justification! and no weapons were found! and so was Iraq's involvment in the Al Quada network, which have never been proved either .. Even Colin Powell admitted this! And US and her allies (Denmark included) went to war without a permisson from UN .. clear and simple .. it's illegal! USA tried to pass a law which allowed an armed enforcement in Iraq before the war, but it failed .. no UN law permits any nation (which is a member of UN) to declare war without the permission of the UN security counsil .. and such a permission was not given! resolution 1441 clearly states that Iraq hasn't fulfilled it's promises and prohibited acces to key areas .. true .. but that is not a justification for war, but some politicians use this resolution as an argument .. as said before, a vote of approval is required, and such was not given! So no matter how you wanna look at it this war was, and still is, illegal! and there's really not much more to say .. maybe it was a good idea to remove him, but USA is not above the law, and should not be allowed to get away with this! (and neither should any of her allies)

5 years ago I could've participated in this discussion, now it's all gibberish to me .. lol but sure seems like a powerfull b**** you are putting together there! :D

well wasn't the war based on the fact that he had weapons of mass destruction? .. I remember something about a UN law which would be violated (hence making the war illegal) if no proof of such weapons was discovered? which was why most of Europe wouldn't participate, because there wasn't enough substantial proof of the exsitence of such weapons! and there still isn't ..

it would be so horrible with that cast! haha yeah did a search on Legendary Frog as well and found the site .. my kind of humor! he's really funny .. :D

Uni - English literature .. first year! So in a sense computer games are part of my homework .. at least that's what I try to convince myself! :D

don't worry we'll destroy each other soon enough ..

Yes indeed great fun!! although a little intimate knowledge of LOTR is needed to fully get the jokes .. I laughed my a** of when Melkor was introduced! haha - Rosbjerg

to get very technical .. only Sasha said that line (Mucha shacka packa)! and the Twi'leks said something like "una ma bobo"

yeah The Netherlands are a cool place to be .. especially Amsterdam .. A 'typical' European big city .. full of (night)life and culture! and then you add the legal marijuana and you good to go!

I hope that is the case too. As I have dreams for living in America. That are just unfolding. But if all this is actually enforced, I will definetly move. Your in Europe? What is a good country. Not too hot, lots of green, chill people(who dont hate Americans)? You could help me find a safe place to live. lol... Australia or, like, Finland or something sounds good. lol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden or Denmark) or The Netherlands .. will probably be to your liking .. or Finland, but the southern part, it get's pretty cold in the north .. but if the NWO is coming, then it doesn't sound like it would really matter where you live .. unless you find yourself a isolated island and live in total isolation!
